Mr. Mc Daniel I respect your opinions.I want to have my house plumbed.What is the most economical way to accomplish this.I cannot afford Pex tubing though I know it is advised.CVPC I am told will become brittle.Is that true even if it is insulated in the outside walls and the attic.

I would like to purchase a back flushing towlet. I have seen several of then on various shows over the years. Where can I purchase one?? Local plumbing stores only carry the conventional botton flushing towlets.. James White, jmww03@cox.net

I would like to bring to your attention the ongoing problems in the forum HVAC section with an individual that signs himself HVHEHCCA.

While he has not personally caused me any problems yet, he has constantly berated and insulted numerous members of the forum since he arrived here about 6 months ago; his focus originally seemed to be only Nashua Tech, but now he has expanded his insults to numerous other members.

While I'm aware that the members can "blockout" threads from an offensive contributor, in this case, there is a problem that affects the entire forum postings, not only for the members being slammed, but for all who have to read them, especially "first time" homeowners, etc., who are writing in seeking help.

I would therefore request that you do whatever you can to have HVHEHCCA's forum posting privileges rescinded until he sees the light and ceases to cast his insults onto the rest of us.

Tried to upload some photos here of the window with a stepped jamb, but the system wants an URL, and I just have JPEG files. Let me know if you have an idea for me! Thank you again for your help, thus far! Fenster
